    A dwarf variegated selection we got from H&H, it was tagged Euonymus f. variegata nana in John's hieroglyphics but it appears to be a japonica, nice white edges not as congested as the variegated 'Rykujo', but very dwarf.

    Similar to 'Microphyllus' except the ¾" waxy, petite deep green leaves have white margins.
